Applying to an Accelerated Master's Program

The accelerated master’s degree option provides you with a jump-start into a graduate program. In an accelerated master’s program, you begin taking graduate course work during your junior and senior year for both graduate and undergraduate credit.

Accelerated master's programs

Graduate programs at Missouri State University offering an accelerated option are:

Application information

You must apply and be admitted to the accelerated master’s program by both your academic department and the Graduate College before enrolling in any graduate courses. Visit with your advisor to discuss the application process for your specific area.

You will be fully classified as a graduate student upon completion of your bachelor’s degree. Therefore, you must submit your graduate application for the semester following the completion of your undergraduate degree.

Registration information

To register for classes, you must complete a Mixed Credit form and submit it to the office of the registrar in Carrington Hall 320 at the time of registration.

Depending on the program, a maximum of 12 hours of graduate credit will apply toward completion of your undergraduate degree.

For specific admission requirements and application instructions, refer to your program in the Graduate Catalog.
